I'm waiting on the arrival the SW99 40 I just purchased and started to look around for some FMJ ammo so I could get used to the new gun. The last handgun I bought was a SW Model 19-3 more than 30 years ago and I haven't fired it since about the time I retired from the Army.

I checked some of the web vendors I'd seen mentioned on this and other forums found that most were showing their ball ammo as out of stock. Checked the local Wal-Mart today and was told they haven't had any 40 cal for some time and have no idea when it will be in. Guy said, "we've been having trouble getting ammo since the new administration came in". What's up with that? Has there been some change in federal regs, a spike in demand, a slowdown in production?
